The Washington Capitals secured a playoff spot when TJ Oshie scored an empty-net goal with three minutes left against the Flyers, who needed to win in regulation to stay alive.
The Flyers inadvertently returned the favor to Detroit, eliminating them after Detroit forced overtime against Montreal, leading to a chaotic end to the playoff chances for both teams.
"We knew we had to win it in regulation," said Flyers' netminder Ersson, who despite a good performance, ended up on the losing side due to the playoff circumstances.
